    Somewhere I found a site illustrating all the Deckel 
shutters with dates. Bookmarked on another machine and I 
can't find it now.
    It seem to me that a flash synch version of the 
Compur-Rapid was made but synched only for strobe (X) synch. 
The later Synchro-Compur synchs both M (Medium delay flash 
bulbs) and X. Some Rolleiflex cameras made just after WW-2 
have the X synch type of shutter.
